Three arrested in drug bust
Published Monday, June 2, 2008
VIDALIA — Three parish men were arrested Saturday in connection to a drug bust in Vidalia.
Concorida Parish Sheriff’s Office narcotics task force agents discovered the men when they responded to reports of illegal drug activity near 131 Lyons Road.
LaBrendan R. White, 26, 957 Moose Lodge Road, Vidalia, was arrested on charges of open container violation, resisting an officer, possession of powder cocaine with intent to distribute (55 small bags), and probation violation. Bond set in Seventh District Court at $100,000.
Charles Williams, 30, 131 Lyons Road, Vidalia, was arrested on charges of open container violation, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of powder cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of a firearm with obliterated serial number. Bond set in Seventh District Court at $50,000.
According to Lt. Greg Jackson, White reportedly walked away as narcotics officers approached a blue Chevy parked in the street with beer bottles and other items scattered on the hood.
White, already on probation with Louisiana Probation and Parole, then attempted to run after officers identified themselves. As he was being apprehended, White fought with Jackson and narcotics officers, while allegedly attempting to conceal something in his pocket and then in his hand. Officers discovered the item to be a large plastic bag containing 55 smaller bags of powder cocaine.
CPSO Deputy Jay Smith observed Williams, who is also on probation, allegedly attempt to flee from the 131 Lyons Road residence. Williams reportedly had a small bag of powder cocaine in his shoe and a bag of marijuana in his pants pocket.
Williams’ sister, owner of the residence, gave consent to search, wherein officers confiscated a .410-gauge shotgun and a Ruger .22-caliber pistol, along with drug paraphernalia, marijuana, and cocaine residue, reportedly all belonging to Williams.
Carlos King, owner of the vehicle, was was also arrested for open container violation.

Talk about liquid courage. If I did that kind of activity, I would be one paranoid little criminal. This guy has 55 bags of cocaine for sale and they have beer bottles "scattered on the hood" as the ND put it. It doesn't suprise me though. The same activity takes place in broad daylight at La Grange Park.

The criminal justice system needs a make over. When you have criminals sitting on death row for 25 years there is a problem. The jail doors are revolving. A great percentage of crimes are committed by repeat offenders

Apparently probation doesn't work too well to help some folks stay on the straight and narrow. Good job, CPSO! Let's keep these guys in jail for a long time this go-round.

I believe that drug dealers are the lowest life forms on this planet .
All they are selling is pain,misery , destruction to their own species . You have to be totally void of any human compassion or emotion to be a drug dealer . In other words , they are not human . Just because they look like us doesn't make them human . They are different and need to be isolated from normal society . They should
be ostracized from society .

Great job to CPSO! Please put these thugs away for as long as possible. What they sell is poison that kills people, and these guys should suffer the consequences.

I agree fire39212 . Drugs will alter the chemical balance of the user's brain . That's why the law/courts and honest people with cell phones need to drop the bomb
on drug dealers to send a clear message that their subversive behavior isn't welcome or tolerated . People with cell phones can do their part as silent ninjas by reporting illegal activity in there community to the local police ,etc .

Hey justice...about informing the cops on a drug deal. Remember the Smith guy who got arrested in Ferriday for reporting a dealer? The cop charged him (or was it his wife) for interfering with a law officer!! Turn 'em in anywhere but Ferriday, although that will change after the new mayor takes over.
There should be a special punishment for dope dealers. They should have to witness autopsies of youngsters whose death is related to drugs or gang activity.

I'm not advocating that anyone be stupid when reporting these criminals . You don't get on the phone and have the police come to your house to report drug activity . You report this activity anonymously via direct lines to the agency in your community . Most of these agencies will have T.I.P(Turn in a Pusher ) numbers listed in the phone directory . Or you can get it from the dispatch operator at the sheriff or police department when you call . I'm certain the individual in Ferriday did this totally opposite of how it should be done .

White will not get out soon, unless the judge who placed him on probation releases him. I'm sure he has a hold on him for probation violation. Those state probation boys dont play around!!!!

((justice)) your right... but then there are some that sell them to support their own family... i know of a single mom who had never touched a drug before in her life. who had never sold a drug but times where tight i mean really tight... she hadn't gotten child support in 2 months and the lil min. wage job she had could barely pay the rent, food was taking care of because of food stamps.. none of the local charities would help her with light bill of two months... one charity said she would be on a waiting list for about 3 months, another said no simple because she had a job... she had went to the dentist for a tooth pulled and got loracets to ease the pain, then a 'friend' came to her and says you know those go for 5 bucks a pill on the streets... she had 25 pills.... that paid one of her light bills, she felt horrible after doing it.. but it was either doing that or having her children living with no electricity??? which one would you have chosen?
